Section 2 - Getting Started
Selecting Presets
The
DP
/ 4 has 400 Presets
in
its memory,
but
you
can't
get
to
all
of
them
at
anyone
time. This is
because:
• 100 of the presets are Config Presets
which
change the config set-up as well as
loading
new
effects algorithms;
and
• of the remaining 300 presets, the type(s)
of
presets available for viewing
and
selecting
depends
on
the current config.
If
you're
not
clear
on
how
configs work,
we
suggest
you
review
the
discussion earlier
in
this
section.
How
the Config
Affects
Selecting Presets
30
As
we
discussed earlier, the four different config types effectively
turn
the
DP
/4
into
1,2,3,
or
4
independent
effects devices,
with
a
varying
number
of
DP
/ 4 Units
per
"device":
A 1
Source
Config
turns
the
DP
/ 4 into one
giant
multi-effects processor
with
4 effects units all
processing the
same
input
signal.
A 2
Source
Config
turns
the
DP
/ 4
into
two
multi-effects processors,
with
2 effects
units applied to each
input
signal.

A 4
Source
Config
turns
the DP / 4 into four
independent
effects processors; each
of
the
four Units processes a different
input
signal
and
is treated as a separate device.

If
you
think of the
shaded
rectangles
in
the above illustration as
different"
devices,"
you'll
notice
that each of these configs creates a
number
of "devices"
that
are either
1,2,
or
4 Units
"wide."
This,
in
fact determines
what
presets
you
can
select
at
any
given
time
. The DP / 4
has
1 Unit, 2
Unit,
and
4 Unit presets,
and
you
can
only select presets of the type(s) allowed
by
the
current
config.
